As most of us are aware,
parts of western Africa are experiencing the largest outbreak of Ebola since it
was first noted in 1976. A recent letter in the Liberian
Observer, a newspaper in Monrovia, by Dr. Cyril E. Broderick, Sr., a
Professor of Plant Pathology at Delaware State University lays the blame for the recent outbreak in an
interesting direction.

Let's open by looking at
a chart from the Ministry of Health and Social
Welfare in Liberia showing us the current situation:

A total of 3458 cases of
Ebola have been noted in Liberia up to September 23, 2014. Of the 3458
cases, 1830 have resulted in death for a death rate of 57.7 percent. As
well, there have been 184 cases affecting health care workers with a total of
91 deceased health care workers for a death rate of 49.5 percent. Most of
the workers infected have been nurses (46) and nurse aids (20).

Here is a graph showing the ramping up of the
number of cases as the weeks passed:

Here is a map showing the
cumulative number of deaths by geographic area up to September 22, 2014:

Most of the deaths have
occurred in Montserrado County where 68 percent of those infected die as a
result of contracting Ebola. Note that Liberia's capital city, Monrovia,
is located in Montserrado County. Monrovia, named for United States
President James Munroe, has a population of just over 970,000 and is the
largest city in Liberia.

Now, let's look at Dr.
Broderick's letter. Here is the graphic that
accompanies the submission:

Here is the opening
paragraph:

"Dear World Citizens:

I have read
a number of articles from your Internet outreach as well as articles from other
sources about the casualties in Liberia and other West African countries about
the human devastation caused by the Ebola virus. About a week ago, I read an
article published in the Internet news summary publication of the Friends of
Liberia that said that there was an agreement that the initiation of the Ebola
outbreak in West Africa was due to the contact of a two-year old child with
bats that had flown in from the Congo. That report made me disconcerted with
the reporting about Ebola, and it stimulated a response to the “Friends of
Liberia,” saying that African people are not ignorant and gullible, as is being
implicated...Because of the widespread loss of life, fear, physiological
trauma, and despair among Liberians and other West African citizens, it is
incumbent that I make a contribution to the resolution of this devastating
situation, which may continue to recur, if it is not properly and adequately
confronted."

Dr.
Broderick goes on to note that during the Cold War, the CIA and KGB were
involved in the "manufacturing" of AIDS-like viruses with the
intention of using them as a weapon. In a book by Leanard Horowitz titled
"Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola - Nature, Accident or Intentional,
the author confirms the existence of an American military-medical-industrial
complex that conducts biological weapons tests under the guise of vaccinating
"black Africans overseas".

Here is
another quote from his letter:

"The
World Health Organization (WHO) and several other UN Agencies have been
implicated in selecting and enticing African countries to participate in the
testing events, promoting vaccinations, but pursuing various testing regiments.
The August 2, 2014 article, West Africa: What are US Biological Warfare
Researchers Doing in the Ebola Zone? by Jon Rappoport of Global Research
pinpoints the problem that is facing African governments.

Obvious in
this and other reports are, among others:

(a) The US
Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), a well-known
centre for bio-war research, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland;

(b) Tulane
University, in New Orleans, USA, winner of research grants, including a grant
of more than $7 million the National Institute of Health (NIH) to fund research
with the Lassa viral hemorrhagic fever;

(c) the US
Center for Disease Control (CDC);

(d) Doctors
Without Borders (also known by its French name, Medicins Sans Frontiers);

(e)
Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company;

(f) The
UK’s GlaxoSmithKline; and

(g) the
Kenema Government Hospital in Kenema, Sierra Leone.

Reports
narrate stories of the US Department of Defense (DoD) funding Ebola trials on
humans, trials which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and
Sierra Leone. The reports continue and state that the DoD gave a contract worth
$140 million dollars to Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to conduct
Ebola research. This research work involved injecting and infusing healthy
humans with the deadly Ebola virus. Hence, the DoD is listed as a collaborator
in a “First in Human” Ebola clinical trial (NCT02041715, which started in
January 2014 shortly before an Ebola epidemic was declared in West Africa in
March. Disturbingly, many reports also conclude that the US government has a
viral fever bioterrorism research laboratory in Kenema, a town at the epicentre
of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The only relevant positive and ethical
olive-branch seen in all of my reading is that Theguardian.com reported, “The
US government funding of Ebola trials on healthy humans comes amid warnings by
top scientists in Harvard and Yale that such virus experiments risk triggering
a worldwide pandemic. That threat still persists.'

Dr.
Broderick states that the United States, Canada, France and the United Kingdom
are implicated in this Ebola outbreak and that African nations need to seek
criminal and civil compensation for damages from these countries and the
corporations that are responsible.

The author
notes that:

"There
is urgent need for affirmative action in protecting the less affluent of poorer
countries, especially African citizens, whose countries are not as
scientifically and industrially endowed as the United States and most Western
countries, sources of most viral or bacterial GMOs that are strategically
designed as biological weapons. It is most disturbing that the U. S. Government
has been operating a viral hemorrhagic fever bioterrorism research laboratory
in Sierra Leone. Are there others? Wherever they exist, it is time to terminate
them. If any other sites exist, it is advisable to follow the delayed but
essential step: Sierra Leone closed the US bioweapons lab and stopped Tulane
University for further testing."

While some
of this has a tin foil hat ring to it, here is an interesting news release from the
Facebook page of Sierra Leone's Ministry of Health and Sanitation dated July
23, 2014:

Note that
during the outbreak, Tulane University was to stop Ebola testing
during the current Ebola outbreak.

It seems Africa is hit first when a virus is spread, and wonder if scientists want to see how fast they spread to use as a weapon in warfare? Remember the smallpox against the native American Indians, Syphills in Africa and the Aids against Gays. I read that Polio can be man made and spread.

Rubbish and scientifically illiterate nonsense. Smallpox outbreaks in native American populations did occur and were so deadly but were due to their lack of exposure to it before. And there were no vaccines for it and no treatment.

Regardless of where it got its start it is here now. It seems things are going from bad to worse. When researching the latest news on the Ebola outbreak I was surprised not to find a lot more fast developing news. It seems Americans have dropped this into the dustbin as an also ran or nuisance thing that when kept at a distance is of little interest.

Unfortunately this may soon change as the virus is picking up "critical mass." In this instant I'm referring to the point where enough people are infected with the virus that it can sustain a chain reaction and expand out of control. The bad news is Ebola may have already reached critical mass and be impossible to contain. The implications of this are massive and it could change everything. More on why we should be very concerned in the article below.

Why do people call it fear mongering? Yes, it is fear inducing, but the truth is the truth. The ebola virus vaccine is something that can make the drug companies trillions. Only if they have the stage set. So they are setting the stage. Like good little businessmen, crying "profits above all". Anyone that does not see this needs to get a reality check. We should be shocked and dismayed at the horrid behavior of the Rx companies but very glad that they have been exposed. The only people that are annoyed by the truth are the ones telling the lies.

What do drug companies want? Money. What is an African life worth to these drug companies? Nothing. What do these drug companies hope to make off the ebola virus? Billions. It does seem a logical answer, maybe not correct but certainly logical.

About Me

I have been an avid follower of the world's political and economic scene since the great gold rush of 1979 - 1980 when it seemed that the world's economic system was on the verge of collapse. I am most concerned about the mounting level of government debt and the lack of political will to solve the problem. Actions need to be taken sooner rather than later when demographic issues will make solutions far more difficult. As a geoscientist, I am also concerned about the world's energy future; as we reach peak cheap oil, we need to find viable long-term solutions to what will ultimately become a supply-demand imbalance.
